It worked exceptionally well to remove lots of sediment from the tank. I've had a plumbing company come out 4 months earlier to 'supposedly' do a drain and flush. They charged $69.00 and they spent approximately 30 minutes doing the 'flush', obviously not very well. This little contraption was amazing! I did spend at least an hour doing the flush, as the clear part let's you see the sediment coming out and it just kept coming and coming until it didn't. Obviously cleaned it all! I did use an air compressor which did nake it easier! Word of advice....follow the directions exactly as described and you'll be amazed! I plan on doing this every 6 months as Phoenix has very hard water. 3 people found this helpful

I am not really a plumber or anything. I only mess with home stuff when it is necessary. My water heater is eight years old and I had never flushed it before. I read that sediment can make it wear out sooner so I gave it a try. Connecting everything was pretty straightforward. I hooked the tool up to the drain valve and attached a garden hose. Then I used the bicycle pump like it said to do. At first I wasn't sure anything was happening. After pumping some air bursts through a bunch of stuff came out. The clear part let me see the debris moving through. This thing works by stirring up the sediment while it drains instead of just letting gravity do it. That seemed to get more out than usual. The whole thing took less than an hour. No extra tools needed. After doing it our hot water seems to heat back up quicker now. Maybe the tank needed it badly. It feels good to know all that buildup from years is gone now. If you do your own maintenance I think this is something worth getting. It costs less than calling someone out. I am not totally sure how much difference it makes long term. Easy to use and very effective

I didn't realize that you should flush your water heater on a regular basis. Once I learned that fact I started researching "how-to" and stumbled upon the EZVac. What a brilliant device. You get the ability to churn up the debris in your heater such that it will be entranied in the water you flush from the tank. Very smart! I ran into a couple of issue that have NOTHING to do with the EZVac, just some gotchas that people should be aware of... 1) make sure you flip the correct breaker. I'm a kucklehead and didn't flip the correct one, at first. 2) You can see in my photos that there wasn't sufficient room to attach the EZVac and then the garden hose. I have to remove the obstacle and then carry on. Gotchas notwithstanding (typical of small homes in South Florida), this was a simple way to maintain my water heater. This device works like a champ.

I have to say I was impressed. My water heater is loaded with sediment and draining doesn't always get a ton out. This concept is neat; pushing pressurized air in to stir up the sediment and get it out helped get more. It was straightforward to use and I could see the gunk come out after the air was added. We have bad water so doing this yearly will help the water heater live longer. Not a bad price either. Just be mindful of the PSI - max is 80. Worked well to remove sediment

Super simple to use. A couple of things stand out. First off I like the fact that the fitting that gets attached to the hot water heater can be adjusted. That is to say it has a slip ring so that you can adjust the outport so it's pointing up or down. I used an air compressor as my source air. Got it up to about 45 lb. And you can actually hear the water churning and gurgling inside the hot water heater. In my particular case my system was pretty clean. It's about a year and a half old, but knowing what I paid to replace it I'm going to keep on top of it. I'll make sure that I use this next year. Just click on the QR code and follow the instructions. This is also a little less expensive than the other guys. And it works just as well. Fortunately the PDF from the QR code takes you step by step. I will say that when you turn the water off on the hot water heater after you're done doing the training you'll see that there's water inside of the cavity. This is due to a vacuum effect. After you turn off the spigot on the hot water heater itself most likely a brass assembly. Go ahead and open up the port for the garden hose and give a short blast of air and that will push the remaining water out through the see-through cavity. This will avoid any spillage of water. As far as quality is concerned, this is as I mentioned just as good as the name brand. Go ahead and buy it. You'll be pleased with the results.

worked just as it said it would...it's clear so it allows you to see the sediment and lets you know after flushing several times that all the sediment is out.. so much easier then a stiff wire or a coat hanger and a mess of water on the floor
